Page 18 - Breaking the Curse of Poverty David Owusu

stewardship and properly managing wealth.

Jesus encouraged His disciples with messages (through parables)
and direct teachings on prosperity and stewardship. There is nothing
in the gospels that implies that Jesus propagated the message of
poverty.

Deliberately, Jesus makes mention of the kingdom standards of
prosperity. The many aspects of what constitutes the blessings that
brings us to the fullness of God’s great treasures. Jesus expressed his
dissatisfaction with the lazy man in the parable of the talents and
took a stand point that it is inappropriate to have the ability and
not use it while he praised the man with five talents who invested
wisely and gained more than what was initially given as outlined in
in the story of the Talents in the Bible. Talents are used figurative
for money

“And the silver from those who were numbered of the
congregation was one hundred talents and one thousand seven
hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the
sanctuary.”Exodus 38:25 (NKJV)

There is nothing like spiritual implications; the Word of the Lord is
true and it cannot be conveniently manipulated. I challenge you to
set new frontiers for yourself and the future generation by getting
liberated to walk in the truth that has been made available.

I pray that the words of this book will receive the unction of the
Spirit of the living God and deliver each and every reader from the
curse of poverty in Jesus Mighty name! Amen!
